Harry Weasley

Chapter Thirty Three: The Diary

A/N: Ok this is a rewrite of the original chapter 33 for me. I found once I wrote Chapter 34, that I had made a mistake, and this makes it fixed. Thank you and if you have already read this chapter, please read again so that you can get the rewrite. Donald

Harry and his friends were off walking and looking around under their cloaks one night when they found themselves hiding from Filch in the Girls Bathroom. While they were hiding they heard someone come in and throw something over the stall door which hit Harry in the head. When he looked, he found it to be a diary. He decided that he would look at it later to see who's it was, and if he could find who to give it back to. After the wait, he and his friends went out of the bathroom, and headed back to their dorms.

When Harry got back to his Dorm, he decided it was time to see who's diary it was. When he looked at the cover, he found that there wasn't any name on it of who it belonged to. He found that it was empty in fact. Well empty until he was looking into it for a minute or two and words became clear on the paper in front of him.

"Who is this that I'm speaking to?" The diary said.

"I am Harry Weasley, who are you?"

"I am Tom Marvolo Riddle. It is a pleasure to meet you Harry."

"The pleasure is mine. Why can I see what is being written in this book?"

"This is my essence that is in this book, and I can communicate with whomever has the book at the time. So basically I can answer your basic questions."

Harry thought that this could be a convenient usage for a diary, and decided to test it out. "Who was you last owner?"

"I am sorry Harry, that is one thing I can't answer. I can't let anyone know who my previous owners were. Is there anything else that you want to know?"

"Will these attacks continue?"

"Yes, but someone can stop them if they tried."

Harry was surprised at this, and decided that he didn't want to know what was going on at this time. He hid the diary in his trunk under a few clothes and old socks. He went to sleep that night having weird dreams about talking heads, and weird snakes that decided that they wanted to eat people.

He woke up with a start at midnight sweating bullets. "Calm down Harry, it was just a dream, a terrible one, but just a dream." He tried calming down and getting back to sleep. He eventually got back to sleep, only to sleep for a couple of more hours before having to get up.

When he got up, he went down to breakfast and ate very little. He went through the classes that day without paying much attention. When he went back up to his dorm that night, he found that the diary was gone. He went through all his stuff, and found that whoever got it, got it without disturbing his stuff to much. "Hmm, I wonder who was able to get into my trunk without leaving a trace. I will have to talk to Dumbledore about this, and see what he has to see about this. See if he knows who this Tom Marvolo Riddle is." He made his way to the Headmasters office, and found that he didn't know the password. He tried different types of candy both muggle and magical. He finally got in on Cockroach Clusters, and made his way up to his office.

"Come in Harry and have a seat. How may I help you this evening?"

"Professor, I was wondering if you could tell me a couple of things. Someone had thrown a diary into a place I was standing the other night, and I had looked at it, and found that it had held the essence of some former student of this school, and that it is said that it would help whoever holds the diary. I went to look for it after class today, and found that someone was able to get into my trunk, and take it out without making any disturbance. My questions are, do you know who could have done this? The second question is, do you know who a Tom Marolo Riddle was?" Harry was surprised at the reaction that he got from the name, he wasn't sure that he wanted to know after what Dumbledore looked like when he heard the name.

"I don't know who could have gotten into your trunk Harry, but we will look into it. Did you say Tom Marvolo Riddle, where did you hear that name from? Tell me Harry, that is a name that most people don't even use anymore, and the person doesn't even like it anymore."

"It was the name of he person who had owned the diary first I guess, and had left his essence in it. Why do you ask, who is he?" Harry was nervous now, and wasn't sure that he wanted to know.

"Tom Riddle is also known as Lord Voldemort, and if it was his diary that is here in the school, then he might be the one controlling the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets. We need to find them quickly, and stop them Harry. I don't want you to do anything rash Harry, but if you see anything that would point to someone that is being possessed or whatever, then let me know."

"I will professor, thank you for the information and I will keep an eye out for you. Good night Professor, I better get back to my dorm and get some sleep." With that Harry left the headmasters office and headed back to the Gryffindors dorm room.

On his way there, he ran into Colin Creevey, who surprised him with his ever present camera. "Say cheese Harry." Colin had snapped the picture before Harry could even think about it. "Thanks Harry, this is going straight into my photo album." With that he ran off in the other direction to do just that.

"No problem Colin, it's my pleasure to let you take my photo." Harry was shaking his head as he made his way back to the Gryffindor Common Room. He needed to get his rest, for they had a big game tomorrow against the Slytherin, and they had planned on winning. Harry was in his dorm room, and asleep by the time his head hit the pillow.
